De Bruyne misses Hazard: "He's had a bad year, it's a shame"

Kevin de Bruyne is missing Eden Hazard in the Belgium camp. In the build up to the game with England, the midfielder talked about the Real Madrid man who is out with COVID-19. 

"It's a shame he isn't here. He's had a bad year... He was coming back and getting the virus is a shame because he was coming back well," De Bruyne said.

That said, the Man City man did not want to dwell on his absence: "I also have to say that it's something we have to deal with. Someone will do his job. I hope he comes back soon and well. He's had a difficult year because of injuries, but I've no doubt he'll come back well."

The Man City player also analysed the match with England, the country where he plays his club football. "We lost at Wembley and now we have to play very well to get the three points, We have two matches left so we have to wait and see what happens. We have to show we're better and we hope to convert our good play into results."

"You don't talk much about that, you sometimes give your opinion and you talk about who did well or not. But not much," he added when asked if he will talk to his teammates about the game after the match.
